IOWA CITY, IOWA - The Wisconsin defense has been under major pressure during the four-game Badger losing streak. In total, the UW offense has only managed three touchdowns over the past nine quarters of play.

With that said, it is awfully difficult for a defense to keep a team in the game when the offense is putrid. In its 38-16 loss to Iowa, the Badger defense suffered a similar fate.

Best play: After Iowa moved the ball 26 yards on their first four plays of the drive, the Badger defense locked down. On third and 20, UW held Greene 12 yards shy of the first down on a draw, forcing the punt.

Best play: UW was calling timeout after every play. On third and four, Stanzi found Wade Leppert in the flat. It looked as though he would pick up the first down, but Dan Moore pushed him out one yard shy.

Best play: UW emphasized the need to start the second half off with some momentum, well, they did. On third and one, Mike Newkirk exploded into the backfield and drilled Greene before he could get back to the line of scrimmage, forcing the punt.

Best play: Since Aaron Henry is redshirting this season, the Badgers have not blitzed many corners. However, on third and eight, Aubrey Pleasant came free on a blitz and rushed Stanzi's incomplete pass.

Worst play: The momentum seemed to be going in Wisconsin's favor, but following a roughing the passer penalty on Jonathan Casillas the pendulum quickly swung back to Iowa. Greene took the option draw and sidestepped one Badger defender and outran the rest for this third touchdown of the day.

Worst play: On second and three, Stanzi threw behind a wide-open Reisner in the flat. Reisner reached back and hauled in the pass with one hand. He then juked the one Badger defender in the area and strolled into the end zone.
